When attempting to reduce Cross Infection within GP
Practices and Medical Centres, it is imperative that a number of safe and realistic Infection
control procedures are implemented. Such procedures MUST involve the whole of
the medical team and should be regularly monitored during all clinical sessions
and then discussed at all practice meetings for improvement purposes. The
Individual practitioner must ensure that all members of the medical team
understand and practise these procedures routinely.

To assist your GP practice or Medical Centre in achieving effective
Cross Infection control and decontamination procedures, Safety Priorities Ltd have
devised a Cross Infection Control check list that can be down loaded and used
to gauge where your practice currently features in compliance with the current
BDA - A12 advice sheet on cross infection controls. Also available to download are the Department of Health new decontamination guidelines HTM.
